They met in the Enchanted Forest. Hook was initially a bit of a rogue, and Emma was on her journey to find her place. Their paths crossed during some sort of adventure or quest, and from that first encounter, there was a spark of something special.
One great Hook Emma fanfiction is 'A Pirate's Heart'. It beautifully captures the chemistry between them. The story takes them on an adventure where they have to face many challenges together, which deepens their relationship.
In the fanfiction, perhaps Emma's pregnancy is a magical one. Maybe it was the result of some long - lost magic that got reawakened. Hook would be both excited and a bit scared. They could go on a journey to find a way to ensure the baby's safety in a world full of magic and curses. And Emma might struggle with her usual role as a savior while being pregnant, but Hook would be there to support her every step of the way.
They first met when Emma came to Storybrooke. Hook was already there, and he was intrigued by this new arrival who seemed to have a lot of power. He was also a bit of a troublemaker at first, but Emma didn't let him push her around.
Their adventure on Neverland was quite something. Hook had his history there and Emma was new to the place. They had to work together to outwit Pan. Emma had to rely on her wits and magic, and Hook on his pirate skills. There were moments of doubt and moments of great courage, and in the end, they became closer because of it.
The first big challenge was Hook's past. His reputation as a pirate made it difficult for Emma to fully open up to him. Then there were the various magical threats they faced together. These threats not only put their lives in danger but also tested their relationship. There were times when Emma had to use her powers in a way that Hook didn't fully understand, and vice versa. Also, the social expectations in the different worlds they were a part of. In Emma's modern world, relationships were different from how they were in Hook's fairy - tale world. All these factors combined to create numerous challenges for their relationship.
Well, perhaps the fanfiction could focus on Hook's backstory related to the birth. Maybe he had some past experiences that make him extra cautious during Emma's pregnancy. For example, he might have witnessed a difficult birth in his pirate days that scarred him. So when it's Emma's turn, he's constantly on edge. The plot could then revolve around him coming to terms with his fears and being there for Emma as she gives birth.
A baby fanfiction about Emma and Hook could involve their journey into parenthood. Maybe it would start with the discovery of Emma's pregnancy. They'd have to deal with the joys and fears that come with it. Hook might be overprotective, given his past losses. And they'd face challenges from the magical world they live in, like protecting the baby from dark magic threats.
The 'hurt/comfort' trope is quite prevalent too. For example, when Hook gets injured and Emma takes care of him, or vice versa. It shows their deepening connection. Also, the 'time - travel' trope can be found, where they might go back in time and experience events that change their relationship in the present. This adds an interesting layer of complexity to their story.
Another common one is relationship - centric storylines. Writers often explore how Emma and Hook's relationship develops further, like dealing with misunderstandings or facing challenges together that strengthen their bond. It could be something as simple as a family member not approving of their relationship at first and how they overcome it.
